The BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 is here, taking Counter-Strike back to the Forum Copenhagen. There, eight teams will fight for their share of the large $425,000 prize pool, as well as a slot in the BLAST Premier World Final later this year.
This iteration of the BLAST Premier Fall Final has one huge point of interest. With BLAST’s revamped 2025 CS2 circuit, this will be the last-ever Fall Final, giving teams extra motivation to lift this trophy one more time.

The BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 follows the standard format you’ve come to expect from BLAST events over the years, with a Group Stage and Playoffs. Here’s how it’ll play out:
Eight teams have battled to qualify for the Fall Final via the BLAST Premier Fall Groups and Showdown earlier this year. They have now been separated into two Groups, where there are no clear favorites.
Group A
Group B
From each Group in the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024, we expect NAVI and Team Vitality to come out on top. They’re the two clear form teams from both, and it would take a shocking result for either not to finish top of their respective Groups. Given the fact that three teams qualify from each Group, there’s no world in which either of these teams don’t qualify at a minimum.
Our picks for the bottom of each Group are Team Falcons and Astralis. Do we even need to say why? Falcons are just levels below FaZe Clan, G2, and NAVI at the moment (even with FaZe’s rough form of late). With Astralis, we don’t even know what roster they’ll be playing with! Yes, they’ve registered cadiaN in place of br0, but the drama is ongoing at the moment, with teams’ IGLs skipping media day in protest of Astralis allegedly breaking the rules in this regard.
Our winner overall is NAVI. Hot on the heels of winning ESL Pro League S20, we don’t expect to see any downturn from them, and they should have enough left in the tank to power through the trials and tribulations of the Fall Final.
